This is so frustrating. My mother went through similar things trying to go to school and do better for herself and us as I was growing up.

Oh damn yeah I took the wrong couple weeks to be off of Steemit. I was pretty well offline actually traveling a ton. But imma try to pay better attention and hopefully participate in something in the future.

Yeah it certainly has its pluses and minuses but super glad it exists and can't believe it's been 5 years now!

Yeah they've evolved their language over the past 4 years for sure. It's tough to know where to go with it and impossible to please all queers...

I'm not sure if the book has been made into a movie yet but maybe it has because they talked about it forever. We did a play of it in elementary school though, haha. And yeah, I thought the Suess room

They are talented musicians no doubt and I love them too but I am quite impressed with them as speakers and activists too. They've always been so commercial friendly but have really used their platform

Oh no I have such high hopes for a Wrinkle in Time! Still keeping my fingers crossed. Totally hear ya bout a Star Wars show. I love the universe there so I'll likely give it a try but my hopes aren't as

As a westerner I knew the basics of that Chinese split but not about the specifics of military villages. Super interesting and with really vibrant pictures. Plus I really want to know more about the food

This is fascinating insight into the Japanese household. We totally have most of the same problems but I like creating a word for it. I wonder if I could get that trend started here! I wonder if creating

I also just noticed you're from Portland. So am I! Exciting to meet other locals on here.

Wow this crosses so many of the feelings I have had with Steemit since joining a couple months ago. Your grumpy cat story really exemplifies why I've had a hard time gaining traction here both in terms

It sucks if people are rude to you in general so I certainly don't wish that on you but I think you might not have the perspective that an LGBT person does. I have had my share of rude servers and salespeople,

Wow all of this after hearing about those gay penguins that broke up. I thought it was the couple that got famous with the egg they sat an and I think spurred a book called "Tango Makes Three"

Thank you. I appreciate the sentiment very much.

OMG so much catching up to do!
